Take quiz, share score, and write about 3 things you learned in the quiz

There are several videos to watch and then summarize what you have learned. You will need to watch and summarize the main points for 10 videos to earn ONE world history credit. Summaries should be approximately 1/2 page per video.

Please begin each summary with the episode title and #. Be sure that your summaries are written in your own words.


There are a total of 20 BBC Africa videos. You may do all 20 for 2.5 credits- half a credit for hex 4, one for hex 5 and one for hex 6.

First, watch videos...Then, in your own words, summarize what you know about Afghanistan, its history, location, cultural make-up, which countries have invaded, why the US is there... What do you think about our 20 + year involvement there? Did we accomplish anything? What do you think about us pulling out in Sept.? What do you think may happen in Afghanistan when we leave?

Find a current news article about a country/place of your choice.

Make sure that it is from a news source in the green or yellow zone on the Media Bias Chart (relatively reliable, fact-based, and more neutral than not).

Complete the attached doc and submit. If you'd like to earn even more credit, tell us about the article in class. Please cut and paste the link to your video article.

Watch the Crash Course Video once for understanding.
Watch again and stop and pause to fill out worksheet.

Think of a SERIOUS crisis, conflict, or problem/issue that is happening now somewhere OUTSIDE of the USA. Check in with me before picking something. Let's talk about your chosen topic. 


Research it. Create a PowerPoint or written report with images. The more detailed your work is the more credit you can earn...may be able to earn .5 - 2.0 credits. If you present your work to the class in addition to the PPT or the written report, you can earn an extra .5 credit. 


Define it: Explain what the crisis is... 
History or Origin: Explain how this came to be (the background of what led to this situation)
Location: Where is the conflict or what area(s) are most affected?
Who: What groups, people, countries are involved or affected by this?
Sides: If it is an issue/conflict, usually people on each side...explain each perspective.
Possible Fixes or Solutions: How can this be fixed?  What are some possible ways to end the conflict or remedy the problem? Who needs to do what?
Probability of Resolution: Is this something that will be resolved/fixed? What obstacles are in the way of this being solved? Do you think it will be fixed...by when? What might need to happen before this is put to rest?


Make sure that you note and share ALL resources used- ALL website addresses and titles of articles. You must use at least 4 sources- only one may be Wikipedia.
